I'm really new to programming and trying to customize a theme that I am using. However I am having several issues where if I fix one thing something else breaks. I've researched solutions for about 3 days and I think it's time I reach out to some more experienced with CSS for help.
I tried setting up a JSFiddle but it's not working correctly as I can't access the HTML file directly. The website is www.preethijagadeesh.com. Would it be possible to review the html/css files and provide suggestions for the following requirements?
Center the title (I believe this is found in the 'site_header'
class which is pasted below). I am using margin to change the percentage and it looks
different on various browsers.
I would also like to 'fix' the title so that when I scroll the title
goes with me. I used 'position: fixed' but it cause all the
content in the 'index' ID (pasted below) to overlay on the title/site_header.
The text in the 'About' page appears to be more on the left with
a lot of white space on the right. No matter what I am unable to get
the content to center regardless of which class I update.
The line/border_bottom that appears under the navigation items should be
the same length as the text. I tried updating it but now every time
I hover over the items the text/options move around
overlay a
black color on the thumbnails on hover. I got it to 'kind of' work.
It's just when I hover on the thumbnails, the images and the
'background color' flicker
Widen the gap between the thumbnails.
Right now, there are two columns, it would be great to just put some
space in between them.
Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
Change
.header_image {
float: left;
margin-top: 80px;
max-width: 100%;
}
to
.header_image {
text-align: center
margin-top: 80px;
max-width: 100%;
}
Add these to .site_header:
.site_header{
/* old css remains here... */
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
Move the padding properties from the a to their parent instead (the .page_link div).
and 5. I can't get the thumbnails to display on your jsfiddle so I can't really give the answer. But for 4 I think something like this will help:
put a <div class="thumbnail-overlay"></div> inside your thumbnail html.
For the css:
.thumbnail-overlay{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
/* this z-index should be higher than the thumbnails' child element. If no z-index is set for their child element leave it at 1 */
}
.thumbnail-overlay:hover{
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
Hopefully this helps.
.header_image is floating, so you can't center it nicely. If you remove the float and then use text-align: center;, the image should center.
Not really sure where you are wanting the title to appear - should it be above the content or to the left of the content?
You have removed the padding from the links to resize the underline, but it's only been changed on hover. This is what is causing the "jumping" navigation links. If you add this code to .navigation a (instead of .navigation a:hover), this should work nicely:
.navigation a {
padding: 0;
margin-right: 6px;
margin-left: 7px;
}
Instead of using .thumb_image:hover, try using .thumbnail:hover .thumb_image and see if that's helps with the flickering. Also, maybe remove the background-position: 0 -30px;.
Is a plugin being used to generate and control the thumbnail images? The absolute positioning being used on the thumbnail images will make it difficult to reposition them.
You should be creating the site offline and reviewing your work before migrating the site to your host.
If your host does not allow you to migrate your site and/or denies you access to your HTML files, you need find a new web host.

My page is here:
http://www.simplypsychics.com/psychicprofile.php?pin=4439
Basically what I want to do is position an image in specific dimensions where RED is (in my picture below).
However, I tried to place it where the 'Psychic Name' is as an with align="right" but it moves by tab content down.
Does anyone know how I can put it in, maybe as a DIV, so it's always above everything and in that very place as in my picture here:
http://i60.tinypic.com/2hmmvrl.jpg
I don't know what code I need to look at. :(
I assume you're talking about the "profileimg" that's currently overlapping the text.
Just use this css:
.profileimg {
height: 118px;
float: right;
}
No need to use absolute positioning, floating the image to the right gives you the effect you need.
Add this to the css of your "content" div (the div that contains the topic, the red picture, the form and so on ... but not the "other psychics content)
position: relative;
And add this to the div that contains your picture
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
If the position is not exactly what you wanted, you can change the position by change the values from top and right. If you do this, don't forget to add unit "px" (e.g. top: 10px;).
Hope that helps.
You can make the following CSS properties on .profileimg
.profileimg {
height: 118px;
position: absolute;
margin-left: 18%;
}
I'm not saying that it's a great soloution but if you don't really know CSS then it's probably a quick fix until someone proper can look at it.
I am absolutely beginner in HTML and CSS.
What I would like to do is to create a strip in the left hand side of a webpage, similar to this:
https://www.inside.com/all
The strip has a number of clickable icons, and when one slides down the page, the strip and logos stay at the same location.
Is there any way to look at the page source and find out how it is implemented?
If not, I appreciate any help on how to go about this.
The key is using position: fixed; and height: 100%;.
CSS code
.verticalStrip {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
background-color: grey;
height:100%;
}
.content {
padding-left: 250px;
}
HTML Code
<div class="content"> content of the page....</div>

If you're using a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or even newer versions of IE, there's an inspector tool you can use. In chrome, just right click any part of the page you want to see the source for and click Inspect Element.
Otherwise, most browsers will allow you to view the page source. Often, it's a simple right click, or an option somewhere in the toolbar.
That navbar can be easily recreated by using a div element at a fixed position at the left side of the screen position:fixed;left:0;top:0;. Then, a list (ul) can be used for individual navigation elements. Naturally, you'll want to use list-style: none; to remove those ugly bullet points.
EDIT: JSfiddle available here
I'm trying to move the image for Trip Advisor on this page (at the bottom right). As seen in this screenshot, it needs to move up and to the right to fit in the orange/pink box.
When I apply negative margin, the image gets hidden behind the orange/pink box. I've tried adding various z-index values to make it appear on-top, however nothing seems to work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Note: This image (for Trip Advisor) is reused on the home page as well. Any CSS styling applied should not affect the positioning of the image on the home page.
No problem! Hope this helps.
.TA_rated {
width: 155px;
height: 77px;
position: absolute;
left: 265px;
top: -6px;
margin: 0;
}
Edit: only tested in Safari, but should be OK elsewhere...
At the top of a website I'm currently working on, I defined a «Skip to content»-Link with the following markup:
Skip to content
I placed this link somewhere outside the viewport, using CSS position: absolute. As soon as somebody focusses the link (when «tabbing» trough the page), the link gets moved back to the viewport and it pushes the content below down a bit, so it gets the space it needs.
#skip-to-content {
display: block;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: -999px;
}
#skip-to-content:focus {
position: static;
outline: 0 none;
border: 1px solid #681;
top: 0;
}
If you now click the link, my browser skips to the content correctly, but after that the link looses focus, so the content slips up again a little bit (because the link above gets moved out of the viewport again). So in the end, you need to scroll up a little bit to see the beginning of the content. It looks, as if the anchor link would skip too far.
Is there any way I can make sure, the link always skips to the content and not some pixels below?
Please don't suggest any JavaScript-Solutions, this is basic functionality that needs to work in every browser. Thanks for your help.

While not an elegant solution, try adding this to your CSS, it may give you an idea of how to fix it.
#content {
margin-top: -60px;
padding: 60px 1.1em 1.1em;/*add approx 1.1em in px for top padding here*/
}
Where 60px is the approximate added height when the skip link is visible. It's just moving the top edge of #content up a little bit. You can try different measurements to get the padding back to where it needs to be. I didn't want to suggest wrapper divs or anything, but that could work to give you the exact 1.1em top padding you originally had.
If you can figure out the exact total added height when the link is visible, use that measurement in ems instead of px.
You could just not reset the position back to static in your :focus rule.
I'm a beginner and I have been battling to get this site to work as desired. Thanks to advice on this forum to include an IE7 specific style sheet I am almost there, but with a couple of minor issues remaining. Some of the styles just won't work and I'm starting to despair! I have three issues and if anyone can shed some light on these I'd be super happy!
Across all browsers (both stylesheets), 'main p' text padding on the right is only appearing on pages 'studios.htm' and 'contactus.htm' - I have no idea why and have tried playing around with all the styles without success.
On the 'location.htm' page I am unable to position the footer "behind" the Google Map, like the picture rows are positioned on the other pages. I have tried changing margins, padding and z-index, but nothing seems to change it - I can manage to position the footer in the right place but the Google Map stays "behind" it so that the bottom part of it can't be seen.
On IE7 ONLY: CSS text formatting doesn't seem to change the font size at all. As a result the text is too large and on pages 'studios' and 'thingstodo', this results in the very bottom part of the text to go down too low and hide behind images. If the text was the right

Thanks in advance!
1) The reason this appears correct sometimes is simply how the text breaks in your paragraphs. Your p tags are taking the full width of your main div, so putting right padding isn't doing to help. Instead, just put some padding on your image.
Line 190:
#target2
{
float: right;
padding-left: 5px;
}
2) You can use negative margins the same way you do for the picture rows.
Line 178:
#googlemap
{
margin-bottom: -130px;
}
3) Remove margin-bottom: -10px; from this rule:
#container #main #rotxt
{
font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-top: 35px;
padding-left: 1px;
}
Update
For the Google map footer issue in IE7, try adding this rule to a IE7 stylesheet (see here for info on conditional comments):
#footer
{
z-index: -1;
position: relative;
}
Add overflow: hidden; to #main p
